Classifying by runway length does make some sense to me, but I really have
no idea how Mapnik or any other renderer works. Not sure if this would in
fact be easy or not. It also means a renderer needs the runway tagged as a
way or polygon in order

Hi all,
I've found many of the GNIS-imported airports in my area (central PA)
to be abandoned. As Lars already mentioned, oftentimes this is easy to
determine from aerial imagery. The information at

I would very much like to see some form of classification like what you
originally suggested.
Looks like there are multiple, conflicting classifications

As a side note to the airport tagging discussion, it strikes me that, more
than any other area of the world I've looked at, the USA at zoom 15 in OSM
is littered with airports/airfields. Most of these were added by the GNIS
import. Either the US has a much greater density of airfields/airports
